Bongos2  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.10.1
by: Tuller [More]

I have written a new action bar addon, called Dominos, and am no longer supporting this one. Please feel free to try it out, along with Trinity Bars, and Bartender 3


Bongos is an action bar replacement designed to be both low memory, and easy to setup. It is not as feature rich as other bar mods, but should include the features most commonly used.

Version History
A Brief Guide

Included Addons

  • Bongos2: The core addon.
  • Bongos2 ActionBar: Breaks up the main action bar into movable parts
  • Bongos2 Stats: A display for latency, framerate, and memory usage
  • Bongos2 RollBar: Makes the frame for rolling on items movable
  • Bongos2 CastBar: A movable casting bar, with the ability to show cast time
  • Bongos2 XP: A movable experience bar
  • Bongos2 MapBar: A movable mapbar
  • Bongos2 Options: A dynamically loaded options menu for Bongos

Features
  • Every Bongos bar can be moved, hidden, and have its scale and opacity altered
  • Sticky bars - Each bar can be anchored to any other bar
  • 120 action buttons, which can be setup in any number of bars
  • Both macro and key binding text on action buttons can be hidden
  • Customizable stance transitions for each bar

General Settings
  • To bring up the options menu: type /bongos menu
  • To unlock bars: uncheck the lock bars option in the main options menu
  • To hide or show a bar: unlock bars, then middle click or shift right click it
  • To move a bar: unlock bars, and then click and drag it with the left mouse button
  • To bring up a bar's configuration menu, right click it

Key Bindings
  • Bindings for the Bongos action bar should only be done via the bindings menu in Bongos
  • To bind keys, open the main options panel, and select the bindings option. Hover over a button, then press a key to bind it to that button

Action Bar Settings
  • Accessing general action bar options: open up the main options window (/bongos menu) and select the action bars panel
  • Adjusting the layout of a given bar: unlock bars and right click the bar you want to adjust to bring up its configuration menu
  • Moving buttons: Hold down the key for moving buttons (shift by default), and drag a button. Alternatively, unlock button positions by shift right clicking the mini map button, or unchecking the option in the main options menu
  • Making a bar bigger: You can increase the maximum size of a given bar by reducing the number of action bars. To do so, adjust the action bars slider on the action bar panel of the main options menu. This option will reset the settings of your action bars

Stances and Paging
  • Stances and paging are configured via a bar's right click menu. With bars unlocked, right click the bar you want to change,

Slash Commands
  • All commands start with either /bongos, /bob, or /bgs
  • <barList> can have a possible value of an actionbar number, menu, bags, pet. class, or all
  • You can also specify a group or range of bars, the command /bo scale 1-3 class 1.2 will scale action bars 1 2 3, and the class bar to 120% of their normal size.
  • /bongos - Shows the options menu, if present
  • /bongos lock - Toggles locking bars positions
  • /bongos show <barList> - Shows <barList>
  • /bongos hide <barList> - Hides <barList>
  • /bongos toggle <barList> - Toggles <barList>
  • /bongos scale <barList> <scale> - Sets the scale of <barList> to <scale>
  • /bongos setalpha <barList> <opacity> - Sets the opacity of <barList> to <opacity>
  • /bongos set <profile> - Sets the current character to use <profile>
  • /bongos copy <profile> - Copies all settings from <profile>
  • /bongos delete <profile> - Deletes <profile>
  • /bongos reset - Loads default settings
  • /bongos version - Displays what version of bongos you're running
  • /keybound - Toggles keybinding mode

I'm having the same problem, and the configuration for this mod is so obscure that everything I try seems to make it worse.

OK, here's my druid problem

When i shapeshift it ALWAYS thinks i am still in caster form. I have the stances setup correctly but if i shift to bear or cat i cannot use keys 1-9 to use skills. I have to click them with the mouse or i have to manually change the page to that of the corresponding cat/bear page.

Any ideas?

I've deleted my WTF folder and ONLY have Bongos as addons right now.

Did you bind the keys 1-9 to those buttons -using- Bongos?

If you did not then yes, it will still think that you are trying to use buttons on the original frame, even if you're in a different stance.

Well doesn't seem like Tuller checks here, but I'll post anyway. My main menu bar keeps auto-relocating to the upper left corner of my screen. The placeholder for it stays where I want it though. Very odd. Just started happening.

I have a request for the nearly perfect, wonderful mod. Is there any way you could add an option to move the tooltips to the game default location? I do not like the tooltips covering other buttons.

is it the possibility to add so you can hide your actionbars when not having a target/ is in combat? i'd really like it since i'm a player who likes a clean ui...

Show on Mouseover

I love this mod, the only thing I think is missing is an option to hide unless the bar is mouseovered. I like to hide my bag bar, menu bar, and a few of my actionbars unless I actually mouse over them (I used to do this with DAB until I switched to Bongos). Any chance you can add this in a future release?

Question:
Is there a way to have one bar page to another bar when holding down a modifier key?

For illustration:
I have one actionbar for my warrior stanc epaging (lets call it Actionbar #1). This action bar will page as I change stances.

I also want to take Actionbar#2 (which is made up of buttons bound to keys Alt+1 through Alt+0) and have it page to another Actionbar when I hold down the Shift key (this new set of buttons will be bound to Shift+1 through Shift+0).

Is this possible? I see how you set an actionbar to page but I guess I am more looking for the buttons to change based on the modifier key I hold down.

Any ideas?

No. I'm really waiting for some changes that are being made in 2.10 (not 2.0.10) to get on a PTR before I actually do anything.

I've not implemented it in Bongos, but it is possible.
